[PD] bug with edit-mode (was Re: [PD-announce] PD 0.49-0test1 released)

[JTG III]

Okay I can can confirm that using donecanvasdialog is triggering the edit
mode thing, though I'm not sure why there is no indication from pd upon
loading a patch on startup that it is, in fact, in edit mode. I tried some
patches made by other people, such as waveform.mmb or whatever it is
called, and a couple of others and they all toggled edit mode on the parent
patch.
They also all cause pd to crash when the parent patch is closed. I didn't
get any hints from the terminal but the script I usually use to start pd
wasn't working for some reason and I have to head out again for an hour or
two but I'll look into it more when I get back.
